Ingredients
  

2 packages (14.3 oz each) Mint Oreo cookies

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened

1 (8 oz) tub whipped topping, thawed

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract

1 cup milk

1 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, for garnish)

Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Slowly add the powdered sugar and peppermint extract, continuing to beat until fully combined and creamy.

    Incorporate Whipped Topping: Gently fold the thawed whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until no white streaks remain. Make sure the mixture is well combined and fluffy.

      Set Up the Icebox Layers: Pour the milk into a shallow dish. Dip each Mint Oreo cookie into the milk for just a second, ensuring they don't soak but are moist.

        Layer the Cookies and Cream Mixture: In a 9x13 inch baking dish, create a layer of dipped Mint Oreos, placing them side by side. Once the first layer is complete, spread about half of the cream cheese mixture over the cookies.

          Repeat the Layers: Dip more Mint Oreos into the milk and layer them on top of the cream cheese mixture. Spread another layer of the cream cheese mixture on top.

            Final Layer: For the final layer, add one last layer of dipped Mint Oreos on top, then garnish with any leftover cream cheese mixture.

              Chill in the Refrigerator: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set. The longer it chills, the better the flavors meld together.

                Serve and Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired. Slice into squares and enjoy the creamy, minty goodness!
